sabrina: and finally -- how much do you spend on coffee? a starbucks trip here and there can add up. good news coffee lovers -- the price for coffee beans are at a two year low. but that doesn't mean you'll pay less for that cup of joe. mary moloney explains in today's consumer watch. the type of coffee beans starbucks buys and serves to customers is now cheaper. last year -- a pound of coffee cost 1 dollar 65. it's now about a buck 11. that's a 33 percent drop. and it's only expected to get cheaper. officials in brazil expect coffee farmers to have a big harvest this season -- creating an oversupply of beans -- which means more of a drop in prices. but don't expect to save any money when you buy that high-end cup of joe. for a company like starbucks -- coffee beans only make up about 20 percent of its overall cost. other factors influencing the price you pay -- how much employees make. take home pay for baristas is going up. especially with more places across the country increasing the minimum wage. and starbucks is also paying tuition for 4- thousand employees.

without cutting the caffeine buzz. the most obvious -- brew at home. whole beans tend to be cheaper than pre- ground coffee. and an inexpensive coffee grinder can pay for itself fairly quickly. also -- buy that coffee in bulk for bigger savings. if you can't give up that daily coffee shop ritual -- look for gift cards on resale sites that you can buy at a discount. and loyalty programs -- like those from a smartphone app -- can come with perks. like a free drink every couple of weeks or so. plus -- don't forget to bring your own cup. many places offer a small discount if you have your own gear. who knows -- saving a little cash -- may make that cup of coffee that much better. sabrina sam is back now... sam i'll have your
